“在我这个星球上没有老虎。”小王子轻声反对说，“并且，老虎是不会吃草的。”
“哦，你真标致！”
The shrub soon stopped growing, and began to get ready to produce a flower. The little prince, who was present at the first appearance of a huge bud, felt at once that some sort of miraculous apparition must emerge from it. But the flower was not satisfied to complete the preparations for her beauty in the shelter of her green chamber. She chose her colours with the greatest care. She adjusted her petals one by one. She did not wish to go out into the world all rumpled, like the field poppies. It was only in the full radiance of her beauty that she wished to appear. Oh, yes! She was a coquettish creature! And her mysterious adornment lasted for days and days.
"Am I not" the flower responded, sweetly. "And I was born at the same moment as the sun..."The little prince could guess easily enough that she was not any too modest― but how moving― and exciting― she was!
有一天他奉告我说：“我不该把她的话当真，不该听信那些花儿的话。我们只要赏识花的模样，看看花，闻闻它就得了。我的花让我的星球充满芳香，可我却不为此欢畅，不会享用它。花说的关于老虎爪子的事让我很活力，实在她只是在撒娇，却反而使我恼火……”
他还奉告我说：
但她没有说下去。她来的时候是颗种子。她那里见过甚么别的处所。如此天真的谎话差点被小王子拆穿，她有点羞怒，立即假装咳嗽了两三声。这么做是要小王子处于有不对的职位，她说：“屏风呢？”
半晌以后，她弥补说道：“我想现在该是吃早点的时候了吧，不知您是否能够帮我……”

以是，小王子本来诚恳诚意地喜好这朵花，但是，这一来，却使他顿时对她产生了思疑。小王子对一些无关紧急的话看得太当真，这让他很忧?。
